About Me

I'm a devoted wife, mother of two incredible boys, full-time professional and crafter. I must find time to create each day or I feel like something is missing. All that I make I create by hand as I don't even own a sewing machine. I'm a city girl who also yearns for time in the country.

A peek at June...

But my mailing list friends gave me such an overwhelming response and I have sold out.

Thank you ever so much!

I thought that I would share a few photos anyway.

If you would like to join my mailing list, please email me at pgagliardi9@hotmail.com and I will add you for my July update.

I have plans on what I would like to create already...

Strawberry season has arrived here on Winding
Vine. One of my absolute favorite seasons!

I started a little strawberry patch when we moved to Winding Vine 18 years ago. It has been such a joy ~ some years yielding 10 - 15 pounds in my tiny urban yard. My
strawberry patch was decimated last summer due to the draught so I am
rebuilding the patch this year. I am trying a new variety of everblooming
strawberries that produce fruit all summer long. We will see how that goes…

My very first online offerings five years ago today were strawberry themed and I have
made it a tradition every June since…

I hope that you have enjoyed my peek at June.

And I hope that strawberries are beginning to ripen in your corner of the world.

There is still time to enter my little giveaway in the post below...

"THE Strawberry blooms upon its lowly bed,Plant of my native soil!--the Lime may flingMore potent fragrance on the zephyr's wing, The milky Cocoa richer juices shed, The white Guava lovelier blossoms spread--But not, like thee, to fond remembrance bringThe vanished hours of life's enchanting spring; Short calendar of joys for ever fled!Thou bid'st the scenes of childhood rise to view, The wild wood-path which fancy loves to trace;Where, veil'd in leaves, thy fruit of rosy hue Lurk'd on its pliant stem with modest grace.But ah! when thought would later years renew, Alas, successive sorrows crowd the space!"

I must say, I have become hooked on strawberries and making little strawberry stitcheries. Yours are wonderful! I love the bits of measuring tape on the tops. I am happy for you that they sold out!

Aww, so sad about your former strawberry bed! I will be curious to hear how your everblooming bushes turn out. I haven't ever grown strawberries myself, but as a kid, I would sneak strawberries and put them in my pockets. My mom always seemed to catch me. How did she know! ;)
